  • Publication number: 20090203363
    Abstract: A non-contact IC control unit 203 reads information, which is acquired and stored by a non-contact IC 202 via short-distance communication with a reader/writer 206, each time an interrupt is received from a timer unit 207 and, if data that is read includes new function limiting information on a mobile phone, outputs an interrupt signal and the function limiting information to a CPU 201, and the CPU 201 places function limitations on the miscellaneous-module peripheral unit 205 according to the received function limiting information. If the function limiting information indicates that the power of the mobile phone should be turned off, the CPU 201 turns off the power supplied to the miscellaneous-module peripheral unit 205 and, at the same time, changes over the CPU 201 itself to a dormant state except the function that accepts an interrupt signal.

  • Patent number: 7503876
    Abstract: In a departure standby state in which a transmission is shifted to a drive stage and a mechanical clutch is disengaged, if a vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, the transmission is shifted to the neutral, and then the mechanical clutch is engaged. Then, it is determined whether the transmission is being rotated in reverse or not based on a rotational fluctuation on the driving side or the driven side in the process for engaging the mechanical clutch. When an accelerator pedal is pressed down at an angle greater than or equal to a predetermined angle, or when a gear shift instruction is input from the shift lever, if the transmission is being rotated in reverse the transmission is inhibited from being shifted to the drive stage, while if the transmission is not being rotated in reverse the transmission is shifted to the drive stage according to the pressed down state of the accelerator pedal, or a gear shift in instruction.

  • Patent number: 7311637
    Abstract: In an automatic transmission control system, an operating amount of a throttle due to a driver's depression of an accelerator pedal is detected, and the rotating number of an engine suitable for the detected throttle operating amount is detected. The automatic transmission control system includes a shift map defined by the throttle operating amount and the engine rotating number. The actuation of upshift or downshift of a transmission is automatically controlled based on the shift map. The driver can be informed of a point where a shift map is switched by a depression operation of the accelerator pedal so that generation of unnecessary downshift and delay of upshift are prevented to allow a vehicle to be efficiently driven.

  • Patent number: 5961565
    Abstract: A drive torque of a vehicle drive wheel is controlled so that a slip ratio between the drive wheel and a road surface is equal to a target value. A determining function of which the sign varies when the slip ratio is equal to the target value, and a switching function comprising a time integral of the determining function, are set, and the drive torque target value is set such that it is directly proportional to the switching function. Alternatively, the drive torque target value is set based on the switching function which is set equal to the determining function and corrected based on an angular acceleration of the drive wheel.

  • Patent number: 5884987
    Abstract: In an antilock brake device, a determining function of which the sign varies when a wheel slip ratio is identical to a target value, and a switching function comprising an integral term which is a time integral of the determining function, are set, and a brake torque target value is determined so that it is proportional to the switching function. Alternatively, the brake torque target value computed according to the determining function is corrected according to a wheel angular acceleration. In this way, a brake torque or the wheel slip ratio between a road surface and tires is precisely controlled.

  • Patent number: 5772289
    Abstract: In an apparatus for controlling the braking force applied to the wheels of a vehicle, the braking force required for the vehicle is calculated according to a brake pedal depression amount and the weight of the vehicle. This braking force is allocated to the wheels, according to static loads acting on the wheels which vary according to the vehicle loading conditions. Alternatively, the forward/backward acceleration of the vehicle and sideway acceleration of the front and rear axles are detected, dynamic loads acting on the wheels are calculated from the static loads and these accelerations, and the braking force is allocated according to these dynamic loads. Preferably, the roll angles of the front and rear axles are respectively detected, and the detected sideways accelerations are corrected based on these angles. By way this braking force control, braking force can be optimized according to the loading conditions in commercial vehicles, such as trucks, where wheel load conditions largely vary.
